I just finished reading a great book titled, Tuesdays's with Morrie by Mitch Albom. What a great book. This man lived more while he was dying than many of us live at all. There are many life lessons to be learned in this short work. All of us writer's usually write about life lessons. Our own life lessons that we have experienced that we share with other's on paper. If your a fiction writer of course, we put a spin on our work, to make it more interesting, but nevertheless, it is our experience. In this book, Morrie states that you can't learn how to live until you learn how to die. What I take from that statement is that you have to accept dying as a part of life and be at peace with it, just as we have to accept certain things in living and be at peace with that. This is an older novel and perhaps I am way behind in reading it, but if you haven't read it, check it out. It is inspirational, and what I found most interesting about it was that I have never read a book about dying that was so inspirational. If we take this dying man's advice, then our life will be much happier. Question is, will we take his words to heart? Have a good day.---Keith

Yes, this is an amazing book. We are never behind. We discover a piece of writing when we are ready for it.
